Dinosaurs and the Bible (Part 3)

Job 40:15 (“behold now behemoth…”). Behemoth was not an elephant or hippopotamus. Behemoth was most likely a large, long-necked dinosaur. Job 40:17 says that behemoth moves his tail like a cedar (tree!).
Behemoth was most likely a brachiosaurus. He had a tail that could be compared to a cedar tree! (Also see Job 40:18 – bones like bars of iron). The biggest dinosaur found to date was 60 feet tall, found in Oklahoma. It probably weighed 100 tons (which is equal to 14 school buses).
Job 40:19 (He is the chief of the ways of God = biggest creature that God ever created. That would not be the hippo or elephant).
How big is your God? Is your God big enough to tell you what to do and you will do it without question?
 Clothes? (see 1 Timothy 2:9)
 Hair? (see 1 Corinthians 11:14)
 Speech? (see Ephesians 4:29)
 What you watch on TV? (see Psalm 101:3)
 What kind of music to listen to? (see Ephesians 5:19). God loves music. God invented music.
 Marriage? (see 1 Corinthians 7:1-2, Proverbs 6:26). Do you want to have a “precious life?” Don’t listen to Hollywood; stay faithful to your spouse for the rest of your life.
Satan couldn’t fool Adam about the dinosaurs. Adam named them!
Satan couldn’t fool Noah about the dinosaurs. Noah fed them every day during the Flood!
Over the next 4,000 years most of the dinosaurs died or were killed off by man.
By 1809 most of the dinosaurs were gone and people had forgotten about them.
Satan is using dinosaurs to brainwash kids. At our expense!
The biggest swamp in the world is the Likouala swamp in the Congo and Zaire, Africa. It is 55,000 square miles (the same size as the states of Florida, Iowa, and Illinois). Today this swamp is still 80% unexplored. Dinosaur sightings have been reported since 1910 in this swamp. Natives also described huge 50-foot crocodiles living there. (Look up the Mokele-Mbembe, or crypto-zoology for more information on this topic).
Sightings have also occurred in South America (between Brazil and Peru). A huge 35-foot snake was found with a native inside (and even up to 150-feet long!).
The Amazon River in places is 9 miles wide.
A lake in Scotland, called Loch Ness is huge: 24 miles long and 1 to 1 ½ miles wide and 900 feet deep. This lake is big enough to hold all 6 billion people on the planet. In 1933 there were 52 separate sightings of the “Loch Ness Monster.” By the 1960’s there had been over 9,000 sightings. Today it is over 11,000 sightings. This creature is most likely a plesiosaur. There are 7 other lakes in the same area as Loch Ness that have had “monster” sightings. There have been sightings in the English Channel of some sort of “sea serpent.” A creature washed up on the beach in Normandy, France in 1934. A “sea serpent” was reported off the coast of Brazil in 1905. There have many sightings around the world over the years. Feel free to do your own research so that you can come to your own conclusions.
Some people like the evolution theory because it gives them freedom from God.
The bible talks about “the dragons of the waters” (Psalm 74:13-14), and of “the dragon that is in the sea” (Isaiah 27:1-2).
